i was thinking of getting an R when i was buying the S60 its just too much

[Pseudonym]

i just wanna know how u guys who have volvos like them. im considering a v50 or s60R and just wanna know some long-term reports, repairs, prices for various things. if u know of a better place thats more suited to these questions, please let me know.

[4agze]

^^^well, i had this S60 for a year and a half now not really what i will choose for a car but its doing good i feel safer on it. my only problem is the power i feel like it needs more maybe 20+hp more. all anf all i like it.

[CharismaY33]

the new s60r body kit is amazing its stockish but yet has presence rock that with some slammed rims and that would be :crazy2:

is all volvos from the 95-now are 5-108 bolt pattern?

[ziggye46]

nice! My pops had a V70 T5 and i always wanted to do it up, but i never got the chance.

[Pseudonym]

all the volvos ive ever checked out have been 5x108 bolt pattern. my lincoln was the same and let me tell u, it was a pain in the ass to find any set of decent wheels for that car. a hub swap is a very smart upgrade.

[MoWGLi]

I have been toying with the idea of purchasing these for my 740 Wagon.

I know someone who have bought them before and they stick out a good 3" past the fender lip..... would make a nice excuse for a widebody. Also bags would be a must to finish it off.

The new S40's are 5x108, that's why I've been taking so long to get new wheels for my car (Red S40 in this thread). I wanted new wheels as soon as I got the car, so I threw those on and I'm definitely looking to throw some many into wheels, something big but something that fits the style well. Definitely check out Eurosporttuning like Callaghan said, they're great guys. For more Volvo stuff check out www.swedespeed.com great volvo forum so those guys can really help you out.

Haha thanks Mike. I've still got to get back into contact with Frank from Eurosport without annoying them about the sponsorship stuff, and hopefully I can really pick up next spring and kick some ass at the shows!

just joined so sorry I am late. I have a 2005 Volvo S80 named "Hellsinki" . I have owned it for about a year so I know the quirks of it. One quirk is that sometimes a bulb will fail. I do not know if it is a voltage surge or something else. When the car was brand new I put Sylvania hyperwhites in and 7 months later one burnt out. I have also burned out a drivers side running light. I know these are very minor issues but I thought it important for a possible Volvo owner to know these possibilities.
The Volvo is rock solid as far as reliability is concerned.
The thing about Volvos are they are a little quirky compared to a American car. I think this is a good thing becauce it gives it personality. Examples are that the HVAC controls are weird and you need to actually read the owners manual to figure it all out. The first time you put on the front defrost in a foot of snow and the AC comes on you will be stumped. The reason for this is the AC takes moisture out. Strange but it works real quickly.
The disappointments are that there is very little after market support for the S80. There is all sorts of stuff for the S60 and S40 but not the S80.

One personal thing that I think is pretty funny. MY girlfriend/wife has stolen the Volvo from me. I am cool with that because I drive about 130 miles a day for a living, I have to park in a dirt lot where dust and other crap get all over my car so I like to drive my Ram back and forth to work.

One disappointing thing is that a week ago I had a real bad seizure that sent me to the hospital in a ambulance. This is the first time I have ever had a seizure and now I am not allowed to drive or work now for a year. Now I have to go get unemployment and disability benefits. I own 4 cars and now I cannot drive any of them. On the funny side, I am making my own curtians for the back 3 windows in the Volvo so I can be drivin around VIP limo style. Lets see if my chick will do that LOL


MY plans are to put a monoblock style 19" rim on the volvo, a air suspension kit on it, and window tint. I have not seen a body kit at all for the S80 so that rules that out.

Once I pay this off I will be looking for a LS430 or a 2000 Q45
